We've known and talked pretty openly in mainstream media about how trivial an attack like this would be. Seriously can't get away from the gut feeling that this may be the tip of an iceberg here.

@kevinthomas @alyssam_infosec yup...that is literally more than half of my job.
In some parts of the ICS/SCADA world there is a strongly reactionary culture. Once it is "working" don't touch it! Leave those MODBUS and VNC servers open on public IPs don't worry we used different ports to hide them! Ugh what is this VPN thing and these keys they are so annoying change it back!
That combined with infosec kinda failing at usability makes it quite a challenge.

My pet peeves:
1. People whining about minor inconveniences that endanger the infrastructure.
@kevinthomas @msh @alyssam_infosec
I guarantee that the incident will always outweigh the inconvenience. 100% of the time.
